Caroline Garcia embodies the best French hope at Roland-Garros. But the French has been looking bad in her sneakers for several months.

Her last press conference ended in tears ten days ago, after her elimination in the third round of the Rome tournament by the 100th player in the world (6-4, 6-4 by Osorio) Since early February Garcia has lost in her first or second match in six of the eight tournaments she has played. On clay in 2023, Garcia has a dismal record of three wins and three losses.
